Three planes of reality. Adhibhautik, adhidaivik, ādhyatmik. Prakruti exists in all three planes.
Bhautik - Indriyas
Daivik - manas
Adhyatmik- ahamkāra and mahat/buddhi
Diff composition of 3 guNas on each level. Ayurveda deals with guNa-imbalance on bhautik level. @DrPareexitS

Ayurveda is a shāstra dealing with balance of three doshas (which are satva-raja-tama manufesting themselves on bhautik plane).
It is not chārvāka in its outlook. Its aim is to improve “Ojas” of the body. Ojas is “chetan”.

I have tagged a respectable Ayurveda doctor here to give his commentary on what is “Ojas”. It is a subtler entity (sookshma), and not a gross one (sthula) which can be isolated and quantified by 5-indriyas (or their mechanical extension).
Jyotisha and associated shāntis, poojas that are prescribed therein is a shāstra which deals with guNa imbalance on adhidaivik plane. Some problems are in mind and subtler body. Not brain. For brain we have ayurveda.
For problems of linga-deha (manomaya kosh), we need solutions on that plane. Hence jyotisha exists (just like āyurveda), to correct guNa imbalance in manas on adhidaivik plane of existence (and its trickle down effect on physical world).
For problems of buddhi (mahat) and ahamkāra/ātman, we have yoga.
Here buddhi and ātman has only one problem: their bondage with purusha which giving rise to this endless karma-phala-karma cycle.
Liberation from this bondage, this cycle is the only “tāpa” on ātmik plane.

How to use the three guNas in one’s buddhi and in one’s ahamkāra to attain establishment of “drashTā” in His true form?
How manipulate the guNas here to achieve desired goal?
To answer this, there is shāstra of yoga.

Thus, āyurveda-Jyotisha-Yoga are linked because they correct the guNa-imbalance on three different plane of existence to give harmonious existence and liberation on all three planes.
The underlying scaffolding of guNas-prakruti-purusha-karma siddhānta etc is sānkhya in origin.

Ayurveda is about balancing the doshas (guNas) in sthula-sharira.
Medicines are methods. Aim of āyurveda philosophy is to keep the balance. Balance of doshas in right proportion (as per individual’s prakruti) is defined as “health”.
Very different approach at most basic level

Yes ayurveda is a science (that pratyaksha pramāNa alone can demonstrate the kārya-kāraNa bhāva of medicine and effect).
But it is also much more than science.

Problem with jyotish that I see here is opening poster is expecting bhautik signals for daivik cause-effect.
Pratyaksha pramāNa exists in jyotish and yoga too. But on that plane. One has to be receptive enough to catch them.

If one denies the existence of daivik and ātmik plane of reality (science and chārvāka does), then it is out of scope of discussion.

PS. It really helps if the doctor understands jyotisha and yoga. I know it from very close family experience.
Not all physical problems are physical in origin. Increasingly so these days with microbes being less troublesome.
